Stories and photos about life along the Continental Divide in Montana between the Clark Fork (westslope) and Big Hole (eastslope) Rivers. Fresh back from a Fulbright in South China, I am looking at American culture/nature through new eyes. Backpacking, cross country skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking... this is the story of a 4-season outdoors person.

Skywatch Friday: From Boston Mass to Butte America

We spent several days back East for our daughter's graduation from Boston University. We enjoyed the lovely skies of the Charles River and Boston city skyline:

And a gorgeous sunset from a dock-side table at the Barking Crab:

Still it was good to come home to the spring storms of our Rocky Mountain home:

And our rapidly-changing skies, such as this mid-day view of Highland Mountains south of Butte, Montana (from our front porch in Walkerville):

Evening view of Highlands:

And this view west to the setting sun and the peaks of the Pintler Wilderness:

Your photos of Boston are lovely, and I'm sure you were proud to be with your daughter for her graduation. But nothing beats Butte America for beauty. I love the photo of the pink sunset glow on the mountains.

Gorgeous photos in Boston and Montana! Those mountains turned pink by the sunset brought back lots of memories of my years in Montana. Hard to beat the beauty there! Hope you have a great weekend. And thanks for the visit and comment, they're always appreciated! Enjoy!

About Me

Eco, from the Greek oikos: home, with a connotation of wholeness. Once upon a time I lived at the headwaters of the Allegheny River and roamed the hardwood forests. Now I roam the mountains, rivers, and prairies of the northern Rockies.
